This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

I think the folks that sit on this blog waiting for something to bitch about suffer from a disease worse than Palin Derangement Syndrome, Bush Derangement Syndrome or Clinton Derangement Syndrome.

It's called Mayor Sam Sleeping Sickness. You can't sleep because you have to spin against Mayor Sam spending all your hours proving it's not relevant - obviously putting yourself in a very contradictory position.
